"The mystery man is destroying that machine...... Hermione said sadly, "I'm afraid we've caused a great deal of financial damage to that factory." ”

"I'll make it up to them later. Lockhart said confidently. "Although I don't know how much that big guy is worth...... Harry, how are you feeling, can you apparage, it's not safe here, we have to run a little farther. ”

"Oh - no problem. Harry stood up sweating profusely, "It's so bad, I felt the scar hurt like someone had stabbed me and stirred it inside...... But it only hurt for a moment. ”

"Because if that Horcrux is completely destroyed, it won't hurt. Hermione said, "Yes...... Two seconds?"

"Not yet. Lockhart added, "Let's go." ”

Harry grabbed Lockhart and Syris's hands, and the five began to apparinate again.

――

"We should celebrate, not just for successfully destroying a Horcrux," Albert suggested, "but for finding a way to destroy all of them!"

"Muggles can wield such power!" Blake was still in a state of near-numbness, he had the least contact with Muggles of all the people present, he had not even seen a television or anything, and it was in this shocking form that Muggle technological creations first appeared in front of him.

"It's too easy...... Harry also felt a little like in a dream, "if we had sought Muggle help earlier-"

Harry didn't say more, but he wasn't the only one who thought about it: if Muggle equipment could completely destroy a Horcrux in a matter of seconds, what would be the Aurors who had been arrested and even spilled their blood for breaking the crown...... Mad Eye, Gadvin, they ...... Did you die in vain?

Of course, it can't be regarded as a vain death, but this thought suddenly made Lockhart's heart entangled, and his eyes turned red.

"Oh, Gildero......" Hermione quickly wrapped her arms around him, and her big eyes met him, silently comforting him.

"Let's find a place to pitch a tent first. Lockhart stroked Hermione's hair, and the man couldn't be resurrected. There's no point in thinking about that now. "Tonight we have a drink and a little celebration. ”

――

They walked for a while into a wood, and something unexpected happened: the Floo network was suddenly cut off!

"What's the matter, did they spot us?" Lockhart looked around nervously, but there wasn't a whole group of wizards on broomsticks.

"What do you mean?" Blake asked, frowning, "We've apparitioned twice in a row, and we haven't been positioned so quickly." ”

"Get out the broomsticks, and we'll fly a little farther and set up camp. Lockhart took out the space expansion bag and said decisively.

Several people flew dozens of miles until they felt completely safe. He stopped and began to pitch a tent in the woods.

"It's not connected yet, is the energy supply facility destroyed?" Lockhart asked curiously after casting protective magic around him.

"There is also a possibility that the mysterious people have cut off the whole country's network of Floo routes in order to get us out. Hermione gave her judgment.

"How, carpet search?" said Blake, in an odd tone, "how is that possible!"

"Regardless of why Floo was cut off, there is nothing wrong with being careful. Lockhart said, with the help of a wand. The tent was quickly set up. "Hermione, go make dinner, Harry, you can try to 'communicate' with the mysterious man in depth and see what he's thinking. I got in touch with the other two teams. ”

Lockhart and Scrimgeour and Martin, as well as other members of the Order of the Phoenix who had notes, got in touch. First of all, one thing was determined: the entire UK Floo network was cut off, and secondly, they were all right, and they hadn't made any big moves lately - which means that the Floo network was cut off and no one else...... Eventually, Lockhart told them the good news that the crown had been destroyed.

The credit of Lockhart's team today is not only to destroy the crown, but more importantly to find a way to destroy the last Horcrux Gold Cup, and now - just find it. Everything is ready, only a counteroffensive is owed.

――

"It has nothing to do with all our allies that the Floo network is cut off, that's coming at us. "Dinner was ready. They sat around in a warm tent, even bringing out the few bottles of wine and preparing to drink in celebration, and after the Horcrux was gone, no one was emotionally affected by it anymore. "We don't know exactly what to do with it, but it's definitely right to be cautious. At this time, if it is discovered, it is no longer possible to phantom and quickly escape. ”

"Let's not talk about that, let's have a toast to the Muggles' presses!" Blake excitedly poured everyone with wine, "Cheers!"

"Cheers, for the Muggles!"

Everyone raised their glasses and drank the wine in their glasses, and even Hermione, who was thinking about what Voldemort was doing when he cut off Floo Net, had a flush on his face.

"Muggles have such a method," Blake poured himself up again, "what is that nuclear bomb that Professor Smith is talking about, the first time I heard this word, is it very powerful, can it kill the mysterious man?"

"If you hit him directly, a hundred mysterious people can kill him in an instant, but how to hit him," Albert said, "and consider that it can't be used in a crowded place, it's too destructive." ”

"When he gets to the Ministry of Magic, just throw one into it, anyway, the Ministry of Magic is deep underground, and it can't blow up Muggles. Loha said viciously, "Let those Death Eaters and pure-blood wizards bury him." ”

"No, is this too much of a mistake?" said Harry, his eyes wide. "The Ministry of Magic has a maximum of five hundred staff members. ”

――

"That's impossible, you're thinking too much. Hermione rolled her eyes gorgeously, "I've seen in the new edition of Modern History of Magic, and all the places where wizards live on a large scale have anti-Muggle technology enchantments...... Especially places like Hogwarts and the Ministry of Magic. Muggles could not use any electronic devices and weapons in these areas, from the most common electronic watches, to explosives - as anti-Muggle enchantments contained anti-deflagration magic, neither bombs nor gunpowder guns could be used. ”

"Seems so," Lockhart remembered, "the nuclear bomb—"

"After the first nuclear bomb was used in combat in 1945, the first thing the wizarding world did was to gather a large number of wizards to improve the anti-Muggle barrier, and at the same time, wizards in every country should have their eyes on this kind of thing...... To ensure that this horrific weapon cannot be used to destroy wizards or destroy the world!" Hermione said with a slight smugness, "This is the content of the last chapter of Modern History of Magic, and no one has written the history of magic since 1960. This book fills in the void after Bathilda Basshat's History of Magic, and it is said that the author is writing The Contemporary Wizarding World Pattern, and it is not known when it will be published. ”

"Okay, so maybe it can be used outside of these places?"

"Then it's going to have a huge impact on the Muggles......" Albert shook his head, "Drop nuclear weapons on British soil! How do you ask the Muggle government to explain that, not to mention the radiation, radioactive fallout, or something......"

"Ahem, that's just that, don't get excited, I'd suggest another toast to the Muggles' nukes!" Lockhart poured himself full. "Maybe we'll have a chance to use this one day. ”

"Okay, but I hope that day never comes......" Hermione said with a shrug as she pushed the cup toward Lockhart to fill it up.
